We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker's dam is the history we make today.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It takes an endless amount of history to make even a little tradition.
Tradition means taking account of a wonderful history but remembering that everybody today looks to the future.
Tradition is the illusion of permanance.
As soon as tradition has come to be recognized as tradition, it is dead.
At the beginning of the nineteenth century we abandoned tradition, it's at that point that I intend to renew it because the present is built on the past just as the past was built on the times that went before it.
You must be in tune with the times and prepared to break with tradition.
I'm the proof - you can't throw away tradition.
We are all part of a tradition, at least we depend on the past.
I like to be buttoned onto tradition. The thing is to improve it, twist it and mold it; to make something new of it; not to deny it. The riches of history can be plucked at any point.
You can embrace nostalgia and history and tradition at the same time - it has to progress or it can't survive.
